For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme.
Now it is dying. Only Hari Seldon, creator of the revolutionary
science of psychohistory, can see into the future—a dark age of
ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand
years. To preserve knowledge and save humanity, Seldon gathers
the best minds in the Empire—both scientists and scholars—and
brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the galaxy to serve as a
beacon of hope for future generations. He calls this sanctuary the
Foundation.

But soon the fledgling Foundation finds itself at the mercy of

corrupt warlords rising in the wake of the receding Empire. And
mankind’s last best hope is faced with an agonizing choice: submit
to the barbarians and live as slaves—or take a stand for freedom and
risk total destruction.
